Some reviews by me of things that you probably have all bought by now if you've got my obsessions... If I'm missing anything notable it's because I've yet to snag a copy due to my current limited (and already way over-stretched) purchasing powers as an MLS grad student, but I certainly will be purchasing A LOT MORE eventually!
1. Flip the Frog- The Complete Series---Who here hasn't bought this yet though? This set is possibly Thunderbean's best work and is a labor of love for Steve Stanchfield and David Gerstein. With every cartoon perfectly restored, who would pass this up? I cannot recommend this enough! Available at The Thunderbean Shop website or Amazon if that's what you prefer.
2. Looney Tunes Collector's Choice Volumes 1 and 2-- Jerry Beck and George Feltenstein always put out incredible stuff. Both volumes include 20 or more classic Warner Bros Cartoons and is a wonderful buy for anyone who loves these cartoons.
4. Meet Jerry: My Life, My Adventure-- Jerry Eisenberg is an incredible artist who I've always admired. I've been lucky enough to meet Jerry on several occasions and interview him several other times for various projects. This book features an incredible amount of new and exciting information also on Jerry Eisenberg's dad Harvey who I consider to be one of the greatest and most underrated artists in the history of comics. The book is a very limited edition and is available exclusively through Stuart NG Books.
3. Advertising Anarchy! Selling Bud Abbott & Lou Costello To War-Torn America-- An ultimate labor of love for comedy expert Rick Greene! This book is a must have on any bookshelf for anyone who is a fan of Abbott & Costello. The price may seem a bit steep at first but it's an ultimate collection of over 700 pages worth of material. Worth every cent.
5. Disney Comics Around the World--- Once again, David Gerstein brings out another perfect collection of Disney comic books that is a must have for anybody interested. This time, a Target exclusive!
6. The Puppetoon Movie Volume 3--- Once again, a classic collection that everybody should've bought by now. This perfect collection includes more Puppetoons curated by Arnold Leibovit.
8. Ray Harryhausen: Special Edition Collection--Available wherever you're Blu-Rays are sold is a new collection of Ray Harryhausen films. While all the contents have been released on other collections, this new collection combines eight great Harryhausen films into one box set and is filled with incredible bonuses features including commentaries and documentary bonuses. The set is region-free.
